Re: .stp to inventor files
A couple of small things to be aware of when you do this import:

(1) The STEP conversion will convert all files of the folder to inventor format. So if you have a gearbox STEP file, you get the ipt files for all parts in the file. Usually it's in a sub-folder labeled "Imported Components" or something.

(2) The STEP conversion doesn't appear to keep constraints (or at least, not that I know of). So once you load in a part, either constrain all of the parts, or just save the file and don't touch anything.
